| Gallery label | Gianni Versace’s Spring-Summer 1994 ready-to-wear collection was one of his most renowned shows, featuring supermodels Kate Moss, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell wearing garments decorated with oversized safety pins. Although not featured on the catwalk, this accompanying handbag was made for the couture line available in-store, and retains the collection’s eye-catching aesthetic.
